IPL 2018, MI vs RR: 4  Reasons why Mumbai lost against Rajasthan

#4 Bumrah’s off day

Jasprit Bumrah has not been at his best in this year’s IPL. He has struggled for control in the death overs and has gone for plenty. Today, as well Bumrah was not at his usual best and leaked runs. Things did not start off well for him as he went for 13 runs of his first over.

With the match nicely poised, Rohit threw the ball to Bumrah in the 15th over but he bowled too short and was smashed for 14 runs. His final figures read 34/1 off the 3 overs he bowled. Being the senior bowler of the side, a lot more is expected of Bumrah.
